Member Reviews and Ratings of Afrohead XO 15 Year Old Rum
Joseph,
I enjoyed this rum. The start was caramel and sweet but the taste turned to tobacco and leather. I would definitely sip this rum. Enjoyable for a relaxing beverage at the end of a long week.
Joe,
Good sipping rum definitely got the leather and Tabacco note probably from the bourbon barrels nice notes of fruit Carmel citrus and ginger. Light spicy taste - spiral was spot on
Thomas,
Didn’t taste like a rum. Had a nice leathery sweet taste. It was smooth but i was hoping for more of a spicy taste
Alex,
Another rum that could be confused as a whiskey, in my opinion. The oaky bite is there up front but a lot of the fruit notes come in towards the end as well as the sugar cane sweetness. The banana they talk about does come through on the nose, and a little in the back end. Very interesting.
Jason,
A really smooth and interesting mix of caramel, tobacco, ginger and dozens of sweetnesses that ebb and flow with every sip.
Alan,
Good but not as good. A stronger path down the throat
Greg,
G: Nice sipping rum. Neat or with a circle rock. Not as complex as say an El Dorado 15. Hint of smoke which I enjoy.
M: smooth velvety rum. Too much tobacco/leather taste for my liking
Adam,
Good finish. Early bite
Miles,
Smooth and tasty but not very complex. This is a nice run for sipping neat.
Tony,
I loved this rum. Never really had aged rum bit this made me a believer. Had some similar notes to whiskey or bourbon which was really appealing but with other unique flavors like a hint of banana.
Gary,
Nice sipping rum. Figgy, fruity with a touch of leather. The finish is smooth.
Johnathan,
Hints of fruits & leather with & great finish.
Henry,
Delicious rum worthy of sipping on its own. Leather and tobacco really come through.
Ray,
Oooh . . . that's what a sipping rum should taste like.
Brian,
Smooth and subtle at first with a strong finish. Good mix of Carmel and spice with a leather aroma. An ok blend but not on my top ten list
Eric,
Nice and smooth. Caramel and vanilla. Really nice!
Steve,
I was able to try this and it quickly became a hit. It’s not my favorite rum but it is in the top three. Very nice caramel and vanilla flavor with a hint of spice but smooth going down. I would recommend if you enjoy Rums
Brian,
Very smooth with vanilla and tobacco notes. A bit leathery but lovely to sip.
Kirk,
Love it!
brandon,
tasty. long finish
Benjamin,
Heavy tobacco and leather notes if you like that. The sweeter caramel and mango hints were lost on me.
Elizabeth,
Tried it on a large rock. It's a very good flavor, good for sipping. A sniff brings out tobacco and leather scents, as another reviewer mentioned which I thought was odd but sure enough, you can smell it. There is an end sweetness but I couldn't make it out. It is a nice rum. I definitely want this for my bar.
Andrew,
Not too spicy with heavy tobacco and leather notes... darn tasty
Brent,
Took me a lot of directions. Smokey sweetness for sure. Great nightcap!
Kelli,
Good tasting rum....hints of mango and Carmel are delish
Liam,
Great flavor good sipping rum
Thomas,
Robert,
Really good rum but not my favorite.
Jason,
If you like rich molasses (which I do), then this is the rum for you. I'm not a huge rum guy, but this is drinkable neat. Warm sweetness dominates with a hint of banana on the back end. The caramel is not as dominant as the profile says. It is there up front but can be missed in the strong molasses note.
Daniel,
Solid rum. Definitely get the toffee/caramel but not so much banana. Heat is there but not unpleasant. The right amount of sweet for my tastes.
Sam,
Not worth the hype.
Pierre,
Strong overripe banana taste and a molasses background. Not very pleasant
Michael,
A slightly sweeter rum. I don’t taste majority of the flavor profile but it’s quite enjoyable
MIGUEL,
This is how rum is supposed to taste. Smooth and easy to drink with hints of wooden barrels. Sweet but not too sweet and no bad after taste like you get with cheaper bottles. Aged is the way to go and this is my new go to rum!
Kelli,
Definitely tasted the caramel, and a fruitiness that made this one a little milder. Good on its own, and think it would do well in daiquiris or other fruit drinks.
Samantha,
This rum was smooth and had a sweet fruit taste.
John,
Really liked the bourbon notes and the balanced contrast between the fruit and leather and tobacco
Angela,
Good caramel and banana flavor, but too strong of a burn
Zachary,
A good rum. Probably won't order again.
Jeff,
Nive sipping rum. Sweet notes of caramel.
John,
This one had a good aroma, initial taste and sipping, but the finish was quite dry
Michael,
Love the tobacco and leather elements, deep complex flavors develop from the first sip and reveal themselves over a long finish. Lime notes toward the end. Very different. Looking forward to buying a bottle.
Colin,
Great rum which is smooth and full of flavor. A real treat
Chase,
Smooth like rum too much spice in the aftertaste for me.
Paul,
Real good, smooth and very long finish with coffee notes. Balanced sweet and spicy flavor with great banana nose
chris,
love the leather smell
Antti,
It is a very good, intense, Dark Rum with a complex birth; while a crisp & warming life; that leads to a very long death with notes of lime, ginger, spiced toffee & espresso.
Charles,
Good taste. Was looking for more flavor
Roy,
Good flavor. Definitely spicy with a smokey, tobacco finish on the back of the tongue
Charles,
Nice & light. Expected more flavor
Ola,
Great overall rum, not overwhelming in any area. Very well-balanced and a solid sipping choice. Good price point to introduce someone to sipping rums.
Lindsey,
Pretty good. A little over-leathery and some spice and smoke that overpowers the aftertaste. Still, a pretty good sipper. Rocks made it open up a bit but also made it a little too shallow. Did get rid of the overpowering spice and leather notes though.
Lisa,
I never thought I would ever have a "sipping rum", but this changed my mind. Easy sipping like a good Scotch. Very good.
Steven,
Sweet nice notes
Robert,
Smooth taste great on the rocks
Mark,
A sipper for sure
Becca,
Like walking into to a leather store
Carl,
The taste of the rum was nice to my palette. Alcohol was to harsh for my taste.
Paul,
Very interesting. Not qite as dry as a scotch, but moving in that direction. I will get more in the future.
Andrew,
Probably the best tipple to touch my toungue was XO I’m sure they have made the best Rum on the planet.
Nelo,
strong to start but gets more complex and flavorful over time. The finish is amazing.
Sarah,
A really good depth in flavor, a burn to start but goes down real smooth. Definitely get a the caramel and banana with a hint of mango but not sweet. Would pair really good with ginger ale.
Derek,
I'm not a traditional Rum connoisseur, so my palate may be different from the, so called experts. However, I do love a great Bourbon and Afrohead XO 15 year rum give me notes of vanilla, caramel, and sugar cane that out of this world. I like to follow each swallow with a small sip of water, which totally brings out the flavor notes is the remarkable distilled spirit. The fact that it's aged in Jack Daniels barrels is evident and highly appreciate. This has become one of my all time favorite drinks...neat and never mixed. I'm such a huge fan, that the regulars in my cigar lounge call me the un-official spokes person for Afrohead, what a huge compliment.
Michael,
Not much flavor - smooth but lacking in depth.
Joshua,
Undrinkable, nose wasn't unpleasant definitely could smell tropical fruits but seems more like a cover up. This rum tastes like chemical candy.
Desirae,
Smooth and satisfying. Small bite to it.
Jackie,
Nice and smooth
Tony,
Smooth
David,
This rum is for the smooth in you I enjoyed this with a nice cigar and some jazz music in the background. It’s not overly sweet but has just the right amount of kick at the end. I will be buying more.
Louise,
Smooth
William,
Great long finish with a bit of a cognac taste. This rum doesn't linger either. Well done.
Anthony,
Not as heavy as expected, but hints of very complex flavors. Would not hesitate to mix. Will try again after a little time.
Annie,
Beautiful robust flavor with mossy oak/peat undertones.. Sweet & heady upfront with caramel/toffee undertones & a Very smokey finish. Very good, but I Prefer the Afrohead 7 year personally. Think the aged flavor here is a bit too much. Like Laphroaig, (one of my hubby's favorites) kind of a kick in the teeth.
Jon,
Warm it up then add cherry juice
Michael,
My wife and I absolutely love this Rum, it is amazingly smooth without that super strong after taste that leaves you wanting a chaser!!
Richard,
Was not impressed. Thought it had a strange taste and left a lingering after taste
